Weight Loss Medications

Other medications that are now available for weight loss, thanks to the latest developments in medical science, include:

• Saxenda (Liraglutide)
• Mounjaro and Zepbound (Tirzepatide)
• Qsymia (Phentermine-topiramate)
• Adipex, Suprenza (Phentermine)
• Contrave (Naltrexone-bupropion)
• Imcivree (Setmelanotide)
• Xenical and Alli (Orlistat)
• Plenity (Hydrogel)

What is Semaglutide?

Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy utilize the active ingredient semaglutide. They belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists and are designed to mimic the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite, food intake, and glucose metabolism.

Semaglutide was approved in 2017 by the FDA for use by adults with type 2 diabetes, but in recent years, semaglutide has been recognized as an effective weight loss solution, and many similar drugs have been developed to treat obesity.

Benefits of Weight Loss Medications

• Effective Weight Loss: Studies show that significant weight loss can be achieved with semaglutide-based medications like Wegovy and Ozempic.
• Improved Metabolic Health: By promoting weight loss, medications like tirzepatide can lead to better control over blood sugar levels, reduced cholesterol, and improved overall cardiovascular health.
• Convenience: With injectables and medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, individuals may only need to take them once a week, which makes it easier to integrate into daily life.
